    I agree...They should have rounded the edges and had it flow up from the bottom smoother if they wanted to do it like this. The way they did it is awkward.

    Related Midwest and Tucker Development filed a zoning application for a 51-story skyscraper. This will be the tallest building in Fulton Market at 570 feet. This area is exploding with developments and is west of the loop and Dan Ryan expressway. McDonalds new headquarters is under construction a few blocks away.

    Of course, it's fabulous compared to 100 N. Wacker... Huge massive high-rise supported on a few 'tinker-toys'.

    More old Chicago photos. I think Chicago has torn down more great old buildings than most North American cities have, other than NYC. The Federal Building torn down in 1966(top) is one of the many cases. Daley should be ashamed of himself.

    Not a skyscraper. Here is the new AA hangar at ORD under construction today. Due to one of the new runways they are building this new larger hangar.

    Some photos of the type of buildings Chicago has thousands of. They have torn down many of them but still have even more left. The top floors are as they were built, most before 1920 but the 1st floor on many are ruined with poorly designed store fronts.
